Rattle His Bones
Rattle His Bones: A Daisy Dalrymple Mystery | Carola Dunn
2 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
In the summer of 1923, the Honourable Daisy Dalrymple makes what should an uneventful research trip to the Museum of Natural History with her nephew Derek and her soon-to-be step-daughter Belinda in tow. But as she interviews the various curators for her article on the museums of London, she soon discovers that the Museum of Natural History is a hothouse of professional rivalry and jealousy, particularly between Dr. Smith Woodward, the Keeper of Geology - responsible for the fossil collection, and Dr. Pettigrew, the Keeper of Minerology - responsible for the Museum's fabulous gem collection. On a later trip, as closing time nears, Daisy hears two voices followed by a tremendous crash and rushes into the next hall to discover Dr. Pettigrew dead - murdered amidst a pile of dinosaur bones. Daisy's fiance, Detective Chief Inspector Alec Fletcher of Scotland Yard, is assigned to investigate and together they must unravel a most baffling case of missing gems, dispossessed European royalty, professional rivalry and murder most foul.

Finished this one this morning as I did chores before work.

The 8th in the Daisy Dalrymole series finds Daisy involved in murder and stolen jewels at the local museum. I did not find this one to be as strong as others in the series, but still an enjoyable listen - it could be because the narrator changed for this reading and I need to get used to the change in voices.

Mollyanna It‘s so annoying when they change narrators mid-series 😤 3y

Bk8 in the Daisy Dalrymple series is another winner. Daisy has been hired to write an article about the British Natural History Museum when there's a jewel robbery followed by the murder of the head of the Mineralogical section of the museum. Throw in a Carpathian Arch Duke demanding the return of his family's ruby & a few obsessed professors & Alec has his hands full, not only dealing with them but keeping Daisy out of harms way. #daisysdarlings
